Haiz, finally finished helping my mum springclean for CNY. A bit tired, but was all right. I wondered about when I would make my mark in life, like a China cousin who got his Master's degree at 16, and another China cousin who got his PHD at 18. Too bad our education system is rigid and does not allow us to skip grades, not that I can anyway. I also wondered about what I want to do in the future, which until now, I have no idea.Well,hopefully I can go to university and garner remarkable academic achievements like the China cousins, while still having a social life of course. Hopefully my parents can stop telling me to be like one of my paternal cousins who got a degree in aeronautical engineering after graduating from poly, and just let me enjoy life. Wonder why must we be so competitive, there's no harm in getting second or third. I guess in the future, I would just get a job with a slightly higher than average income, a smart and feminine wife, then start a family and live peacefully. I see no point in joining the rat race and slogging out our guts and losing everything in the end when we die.Haha, off to study for my Basic Theory test le, bye!
